Roads Policing

I would like to give a polite reminder to residents that you cannot turn right into Ivy Street from Heath Road the right turn is for busses only which is clearly sign posted. To turn into the road you must use the mini roundabout to turn round and come back to turn left into Ivy Street. Any motorists caught contravening theses traffic signs could be liable for prosecution which could leave you with a fine, I urge all motorist to adhere to the rules of the road.

It’s getting to that time of year as we approaching Christmas time which can bring an increase in theft offences, I would like to remind everyone the importance of keeping your house locked and secure. Also don’t leave any valuables, money or presents in your vehicle in view or overnight and remain vigilant in keeping your property safe.

I would also like to say have a Merry Christmas from all of us at Runcorn Police Station.
